Landscape Group

Advancing the art of landscape photography.

Welcome

About the Group

The RPS Landscape Group is a friendly community dedicated to encouraging landscape photography and helping photographers develop their skills. Since launching in 2016, we have welcomed everyone from beginners to experienced practitioners, with plenty of opportunities to learn through making, sharing and collaborating.

We take a broad view of landscape photography, from wild places to built environments, celebrating both classic and contemporary approaches. Alongside professional workshops, member-led field trips and competitions, members stay connected through our regular eNewsletter, the Landscape Group Magazine, and our Print, Critique, Processing and Project circles.
